While no system is 100% secure, I've tweaked my linux system to the
point that most people simply give up when trying to break into my Linux
box. I run SAINT and nmape on a regular basis and check my logs
regularly. I've seen people port scan me and try all sorts of tricks to
get in. After a few minutes they seem to simply give up in favor of
those systems with less secure setups (why spend hours to get into
nothing?).
Point is this, you setup outta the box a linux system and don't tweak it
your inviting problems. Same goes for Windoze. No service packs? Your
again inviting problems. Heck, Micro$oft recommends staying up to the
latest service packs? Why? The same reason you need to tweak your
system and keep up to date. Things change ... always go.

Linux can be broken into easily (according to his job's system
administrator). Would any of you know if this is true? He says his
friend likes Linux. Any facts?
